I got this hydroboost unit from a wrecker and I just wanted to confirm that it is the correct unit to use with a 1969 camaro. It is off of a 2003 Mustang Cobra and looks almost the same as the one that Carl Casanova uses except for the block that sits off of the side. If it is the correct one, what do i plug into each of the outlets?
Thanks for your help in advance - I have pictures of the unit that I scored below:

It appears basically correct.
The return line attachment is different. Looks like a compression gasket / block. Should work fine but if you want to modify it to use AN it will take some fab work.
It took me a while to find the correct pressure attachment fittings. I think I finally found them at Earls.

Thanks Carl. I am going to start looking now to see if I can find some information on the unit. I am sure that I can find a manual somewhere that has will tell me what each fitting on the unit is for. I will also have to figure out how to get the lines into my distribution block and get it mounted. I will report back any information I find out.
Thanks,
Chris

The cobra HB has the smallest bore of any production unit. They added it for packaging not power.
The block is also their solution for packaging. The lines were part of the unit.

I actually took the mustang unit back yesterday. I am going to find an Astro unit to make this swap a little easier.

To those using the Astro Unit, what are you doing for a Master Cylinder and reservoir? I have an Astro HB that I'm planning on using for my first gen camaro build but haven't started the conversion yet.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the GM mountings provisions.

I am not using an astro unit but a full size van unit. Most people that I have talked to are using the wilwood master cylinder with a 1 1/8 bore.
